Communication in Africa is growing at an
unprecedented pace. African governments are investing close
to $100bn dollars annually for new infrastructure in
communication. There are presently over 500 million mobile
phones in Africa. Nigeria remains the economic hub of
Africa. With an approximately 50% Christian population,
these explosion poses opportunities and challenges for
evangelisation in Nigeria. Although, the internet boom is
still on the rise, print media has remained an important
media of information. This work investigates, how church
evangelisation can maximise the opportunities these media
explosion bring about.
